1. Throw lots of money at it.
2. Wonder why it makes less power than a 4A-GZE after costing twice as much.

same as for any engne when turbocharging....
except with the added difficulty of fitting a turbo ont he exhaust side due to the tractor style head.
where? you make one 
there are HKS blow thru carb setups for 3K's in japan, but why would you want to use them?
Cya, Stewart
ps, with 4AGTE's regularly getting around 200rwkw, and the highest 5KT that i know of with 140rwkw.... i know what i'd be choosing

ooookay then...
what would you choose.
single cam, 8 valve pushrod 1.5L that is limited in head flow and limited in rpm by the valvetrain design?
or a twin cam 16 valve 1.6L ?
7L V8 my arse
why not just put in a 13BT like everyone else
